How To Get Ahead: Whitney Read

A few weeks ago, someone asked me what posts I enjoy reading the most on other blogs and in magazines, and as much as I enjoy style posts and inspiration, I really love reading peoples stories, AKA, how they got to where they are. This inspired me to start a column, called How to Get Ahead, and features people in the industry that I…

SHOW YOURSELF SOME LOVE: Lauren

Lauren, 21. “I love my mix of being caring and creative but also having a tomboy side. Unrelated, at 5’9, I love my height.”

Chiberia

Winter is in full force, and lately, has not been showing any mercy. Along with the frigid conditions comes many, many layers of shirts, sweaters, and jackets. Last week, my friend and I ventured out to brunch at Fred’s at Barney’s New York. There is nothing I hate more than dusting off my puffy, unflattering, knee length North Face, so I have avoided it…

Phones and Fingers

With technology at the tips of our fingers 24/7, skimping out on a well dressed IPhone is not an option. Think of your phone as an accessory.

Style Spotlight: Marc

Marc has been one of my long time friends at DePaul, and this is not his first appearance on StreetStyleChi. Luckily, when we met up and braved the cold to shop in Wicker Park, I had my camera with me. Marc’s classic style with an urban edge gets me every time. The classic pea coat layered with a heavy sweater is a nice alternative…

Style Spotlight

December 2013 My good friend Georgia has some of the best style I know. I mean…who else can make a fur coat look effortless? Exactly. G ran around with me to pull looks for her up and coming web series, The Front Row, and I had to grab some shots. Lately I’ve gone back to toting my camera around in my bag and will…
